"Little E's" Big Win: Jr.'s Daytona Triumph Begins New Earnhardt Era

Dale Earnhardt Jr. was leading NASCAR's most important race, the Daytona 500, with one lap to go. All he had to do was to keep his No. 8 Chevrolet ahead of Tony Stewart and rookie Scott Wimmer for one trip around Daytona International Speedway.Dale Jr. had been leading since the 181st lap of the 200-lap race, after pushing past Stewart with a crossover move from outside to inside coming off Turn 4 and then fending off a return fight from Stewart down the backstretch. Now, Stewart had only Wimmer and a lapped car being driven by Kurt Busch to draft with him - probably not enough to help him make a last-lap pass for victory in the 46th running of the Great American Race.One lap from the most important and most gratifying win of his racing career, Dale Jr. said nothing over his radio.Dale Earnhardt Jr. was leading NASCAR's most important race, the Daytona 500, with one lap to go.
